Description

Our famous Holiday Ale. A malty, amber/red, spiced ale for the season with included powdered ginger, cinnamon, and allspice. Not over done so it can be enjoyed without becoming 'too much'. A very popular kit that we have been selling to rave reviews for over five years now. Includes 8lbs of malt extract, a blend of steeping malts including Special B and a hint of Roasted Barley, Northern Brewer hops for the bittering addition and Willamette hops for the flavoring addition.

  • Estimated Original Gravity: 1.051-56

Our recipe kits DO NOT include grain bags, yeast or priming sugar. To find our yeast recommendations, choose your preferred kit option above and then select the drop-down menu under “Yeast Options”.  For more info, click on the recommended yeast(s) below in the “You Might Also Need” section below. All included steeping grains will come milled.
 
Liquid Malt Extract (LME) vs. Dried Malt Extract (DME)
MoreBeer! recipe kits are offered in both Liquid Malt Extract and Dry Malt Extract so that our customers can choose the format that best suits their needs and brewing style. LME is a viscous liquid, similar in consistency to maple syrup. In addition to being the more affordable option, many brewers find LME easier to handle than dry extract. DME is more condensed and comes in a powder format that is similar to baking flour. Although it’s a little more costly, DME is naturally lighter in color and stays fresher for longer. We highly recommend DME when brewing light colored beers.

I was looking to start brewing, but I'm not an Ale fan and decided to get the regular brew kit and a recipe instead of the deluxe kit with the American Pale Ale.

Very good Holiday brew
Brewed on 11/19, and tapped my first glass today 11/24. Followed the recipe, except I added a pound of sweet orange peel to the secondary. Nice color, nice head retention, excellent flavor. The added spices are not overpowering. Not very hop forward. Make sure to let this warm up a bit to truly enjoy. My kegerator is set to 37°. I will definitely brew this again.

Holiday Ale
I've made this several times and it's always a favorite. Try adding 2lbs frozen cranberries at the 60' boil and 2lbs frozen cranberries at knockoff for an additional holiday kick.

Tasted ok for me, others thought it was great.
Followed the recipe on this one. I guess I am not a big fan of spiced beer, flavor was not BAD and the results came out fine. My brother and daughter loved it. I am saving three six packs for next thanksgiving.

If you like the style....
I have brewed this one twice. If you like a gently spiced dark ale, you will like this one. This year I added 2 tbs of dark cocoa powder with the spices and it turned out nice. It is a bit like Sam Adams Old Fezziwig. I would brew it a third time next christmas if I'm too lazy to attempt my own recipe of this style.

Kit 619 Holiday Ale
Made this for Christmas and everyone loved it including my beer club. By far my favorite beer of the three I made for the holidays. Great Carmel taste with just a hint of cinnamon and all spice. A very clear beer with super creamy head.

Tasty Winter Treat
Very similar to a “Ginger Snap” ale I created a couple of years ago. The blend of spices and malt flavors are excellent. Great cold weather beer for the whole winter, not just the holidays. This one ages well, so I’d recommend an October brew to give it a little time if you bottle.
